Django Ninja - Fast Django REST Framework

Django Ninja is a web framework for building APIs with Django and Python 3.6+ type hints.


Key features:

- Easy: Designed to be easy to use and intuitive.
- FAST execution: Very high performance thanks to <a href="https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io" target="_blank">Pydantic</a> and <a href="/docs/docs/guides/async-support.md">async support</a>.
- Fast to code: Type hints and automatic docs lets you focus only on business logic.
- Standards-based: Based on the open standards for APIs: OpenAPI (previously known as Swagger) and JSON Schema.
- Django friendly: (obviously) has good integration with the Django core and ORM.
- Production ready: Used by multiple companies on live projects (If you use django-ninja and would like to publish your feedback, please email [email protected]).

Installation

text
pip install django-ninja

Usage


In your django project next to urls.py create new api.py file:

Python
from ninja import NinjaAPI

api = NinjaAPI()


@api.get("/add")
def add(request, a: int, b: int):
return {"result": a + b}


Now go to urls.py and add the following:


``Python hl_lines="3 7"
...
from .api import api

urlpatterns = [
path("admin/", admin.site.urls),
path("api/", api.urls), # <---------- !
]
`

That's it !

Now you've just created an API that:

- receives an HTTP GET request at /api/add
- takes, validates and type-casts GET parameters
a and b`
- decodes the result to JSON
- generates an OpenAPI schema for defined operation

Interactive API docs

Now go to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/docs" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/docs</a>

You will see the automatic interactive API documentation (provided by <a href="https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui" target="_blank">Swagger UI</a> or <a href="https://github.com/Redocly/redoc" target="_blank">Redoc</a>):
